OneDrive after Big Sur 11.6

I am a OneDrive user with 3 accounts, having 3 instances of OneDrive running. It's been working smooth from Big Sur 11.5 but not after 11.6 upgraded. Only one OneDrive account can run and can't add extra account. Anyone else in this boat with me?

Hi,

there is a solution out (Microsoft). This was posted on Macrumors (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/big-sur-11-6-onedrive.2310591/page-4) and worked for me.


"Okay mine is now working. Here's what I did. I went out and downloaded the installer from the Microsoft site. You'll find it here, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/download. It gave me a warning that it needed to close one drive (because I had my personal account running) then it closed and installed over the existing version. Afterward, I was able to add my second account, a business account. Looks like the version is 21.160.0808.0004"


After you install the the 21.160.XXXXX version (the link above), OneDrive quits itself and installs a 21.180.XXXXX version and restarts (so be a bit patient). After that you can add a second account (business/personal). It actually asked me to add/reconfigure the second account that was installed on my Mac.

I guess its a special version for Big Sur 11.6 as it seems to check the OS version upon its first start and then install the 21.180.XXXX version.
